The Glassell Junior School offers scholarships through two opportunities each year: the Portfolio Competition in March, and the Outdoor Sketching Competition in April.

Portfolio Competition

The Glassell Junior School offers scholarships through a digital portfolio competition to elementary and middle school students up to age 14. Scholarship awards are for one weekly class beginning with the fall semester in September 2027. Classes are available on weekdays after school, and also on Saturday and Sunday. Scholarship students may pick the class in their age group that best fits their schedule.

The competition is through digital submission only—physical student artwork is not accepted.
